Chief/Administrator Douglas stated that the Public Safety Committee is hoping to meet early to mid-August.

 

Jo Ann Villavicencio stated that the Operations Committee had not met since the last Board Meeting.  Village President Styza told the Board that the last Operations Committee meeting was a very good meeting in that they discussed snowplowing and the nursery among other things.  It was determined by the Committee, he stated, that money could potentially be saved with some outsourcing, but the residents like the services the way they are and are willing to pay for them.

 

Scott Harkness reported that the big issue that the Plan Commission has been dealing with is the Boucher issue, which has now been sent to the Board of Appeals.  The Plan Commission is scheduled to meet July 26, 2004.

 

Attorney Krutz advised that the Board of Appeals was meeting on July 13, 2004 to hear the Boucher case.

 

Chief/Administrator Douglas advised that the Personnel Committee was trying to set a date to meet the last week of July.

 

Chief/Administrator Douglas advised that he would be meeting with Fire Chief on July 14, 2004 and that the Emergency Government Plan will be part of the next Public Safety Meeting.

Chief/Administrator Douglas advised that the Internet Ad Hoc Committee would be meeting on July 27, 2004 and that there will be 2 wireless proposals presented at that time.

 

Chief/Administrator Douglas reported that the LACS Dispatch switchover has been postponed until August 17, 2004 as the GIS program is not ready to use yet.  He further advised that on July 13, 2004, the county will be taking over LACS, leasing the space and paying the bills until the switchover is made.

 

Chief/Administrator Douglas provided a copy of the Police Department Operational Guidelines of Knox Box Access.

 

President Styza advised the Board that we would be receiving two price quotes on a survey and soil testing for the Village owned property on Hwy K west of Wildwood Point Road. 

 

Attorney Krutz advised that there was a reversal on the ruling regarding the land for the Lutheran School based on their finding that the Chenequa Land Conservancy lacked standing to bring the suit.  Attorney Krutz further stated that he should know by the August Board Meeting whether the Conservancy had filed a Petition for Review with the Wisconsin Supreme Court. 

 

There was Board discussion regarding Knox box policy and corresponding amendments to the Village Code.  After discussion it was agreed that this issue should be addressed at a Public Hearing.  This public hearing will be scheduled in August or September and a notice will be sent to Village residents.

 

Attorney Krutz is to report back to the Board at their August meeting regarding the proposed development plans at STH 16 and STH 83.

 

MOTION by Harkness, seconded by Jo Ann Villavicencio to adjourn at 8:10 p.m.

 

Respectfully submitted,

 

Lynn Grosch

Deputy Clerk
